Microtransactions have become one of the most dreadful words that a player can hear. Microtransactions have become increasingly more common over the years and are also very predatory. Many gamers are often worried if a game will have microtransactions. Fortunately for Harry Potter fans, that won’t be the case for Avalanche’s Hogwarts Legacy.

Community Manager Chandler Wood confirms on Twitter that there will be no microtransactions in Hogwarts Legacy. The Sony State of Play didn’t necessarily suggest that there will be microtransactions. But the fact that there are so many materials that players will need, many assumed the worse, and the game will have microtransactions to “help” players gather things much quicker.

We've seen this question coming up and want to set the record straight.

There are no microtransactions in Hogwarts Legacy.
